Install Syncthing 2.x for continuous file synchronisation on Debian or Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi OS

edafe.de/syncthing Syncthing is an open source tool that synchronises files continuously across multiple devices. It transfers data between two or more of your computers, without uploading any information to the cloud. Syncthing 2.0 has recently been described as 'A Giant Leap Forward in Decentralized File Synchronization'. Synchronisation for every platform Syncthing binary packages are available … Continue reading Install Syncthing 2.x for continuous file synchronisation on Debian or Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi OS

So, im giving `syncthing` a try because there's an official-ish android app fork for it, and its otherwise #FOSS on desktop (#linux at least). And I know that I could self-host my own discovery and pairing relays. Oh and the last de-#enshittification task on my journey to #selfhost emancipation is ditching #Dropbox. #Nextcloud would be my candidate if I needed my files to be web accessible (I don't - or I could use `copyparty` which is hecka good).

Or you can always ask for help, the first steps might seem intimidating, but once you get the hang of it, you'll love it. Promise. #Syncthing #BasicSync
hmm maybe also should host a web password client for it, like keepweb or keepass4web, like i alredy use my rpi as a #syncthing hub so db is there and synced anyway. and having a web client(under tailscale) probably would help in a crunch
@forteller I think using #syncthing is the most simple solution for your needs. I have no idea what thing make you feel it's difficult.

Does anyone have a succint, current, what-the-hell-is-going-on summary for #syncthing on android?

I know there were a bunch of issues, and even what some of them were. I'm looking for current recommended practice, which of the various forks to trust, etc.

I have longer term plans involving nix-on-droid to manage configs and switching off android entirely (for some devices) but that needs more preparation and testing.

For now I just need to get syncthing working on a new device the same as all our others, including having it start automatically on boot (as the most useful aspect of the wrapper)

Mi sistema andaba un poco lento cuando terminé de editar el video sobre memoria libre, disponible, y la métrica PSI en Linux, y efectivamente, el sistema estaba bastante colapsado.

Dato: tengo 15G de RAM, y estaba bastante libre.

Conclusión: el cuello de botella era el acceso a disco.

Estuve tuneando un poco algunos daemons que usan I/O intensa, como syncthing, para optimizar un poco.

Debería documentarlo, no? 😅

Managed to create a little #RustLang program for moving my saved tiktoks around (helps save space on my phone, which is where they start out before getting moved; yay #SyncThing). It's ugly code and not at all idiomatic for Rust, but... it works. And it only took three or four hours --- after not having touched Rust (or any other programming language) --- for over a year.

So yeah! I'm feeling a bit better knowing that the work I put into learning programming languages doesn't *completely* evaporate over time.

And yeah. No AI involved. I can write shitty, non-idiomatic code ALL BY MYSELF.

I freaking love my #SyncThing setup, it makes workflow across multiple devices on a local network — Linux and Windows desktops, an Android phone, occasionally even a Steam Deck — so easy and seamless! There's an initial learning/setup curve and at one point Windows threw a curve ball by arbitrarily switching folders around, but once you get used to the basic concepts things make sense, troubleshooting isn't too much trouble, and it's a breeze to flexibly configure folders for different uses like one-way backups (e.g. sending phone pics and footage to desktop) and two-way synchronization (e.g. keeping folders synced between desktops or between a desktop and phone).
